I have watched this about 50times, and basically have replicated your list as it seemed well suited to what i expect will be my needs. I am almost finished watching your daily Camino vlogs and I am getting excited for my upcoming trip that I have started shopping for but have not actually sat down to do the planning for! Thank you for all these posts, they are so helpful.

@ClaudiaRodrigues-Wanderlust 2 дня назад

This makes me SO happy 😊 ! Glad you found them useful ❤️ buen Camino. Be sure to let me know when you go and how it went.

Great gear review info! Jumped ahead of daily vids to watch this one. You seem to be a big “gadget” person like me, LOL. But everything you took you used and made the trip better for you. Congrats!!! Planning my Frances Camino walk in 2024.

@ClaudiaRodrigues-Wanderlust Год назад

🤣 I am. But I used every I took except the ear plugs. Would not change anything.

@rcgrizz Год назад

@@ClaudiaRodrigues-Wanderlust Couple more questions if you don’t mind responding whenever you get time. Did you have a pillow (for sleeping) and if so, your comments, please. And did you have a total carry weight? Would you consider carrying a second pair of walking shoes to change out halfway through a long walk day…weight trade-off. Might be good option, but not worth the extra weight and space in bag. Oh, and did you ever have an issue at albegueres finding outlets to keep all of your electronics charged? I’ll be carrying a power pack, but also considering bringing my solar panel (attaches to backpack) as an option, but don’t want to appear crazy geeky. LOL

@ClaudiaRodrigues-Wanderlust Год назад

Albergues will provide a pillow, you can see them in my video, not amazing pillows but they will do. They are mostly plastic and then you get a paper cover for them. Depending on what brand of shoes you have you can easily buy a new pair in the bigger cities and some smaller towns have really well stocked 'pilgrims' sports stores. So I would buy a new pair rather than carry a second pair. Hokas, Sportivas are everywhere, Altra are harder to find, I believe they had them in Pamplona. I bought a pair of insoles half way and that worked for me. I would not carry an extra pair. Plenty of outlets but might not be close to your bed, so I would make sure my power bank was charged and use that when I was in bed to charge my phone. I wouldn't bother with solar panels. With water my pack was 20lbs ... And the most water I carried was 1.5L and only on hot days

@rcgrizz Год назад

@@ClaudiaRodrigues-Wanderlust Thanks for reply and comments! Probably will take my own pillow, though, but just take one pair walking shoes after your suggestion. Have you tried ON Cloudtec shoes? I got a pair about two months ago and love ‘em; so light and comfortable…walk at least 6 miles every morning and couldnt be happier. For me, part of the experience is all the planning. I love to research everything! LOL I’ve probably messaged you too much here on TY. Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond. Peace be with you.

@ClaudiaRodrigues-Wanderlust Год назад

@@rcgrizz I have not tried the ON Cloudtec. I would wear whatever shoe works for you with good grip. The Altra Olympus really worked for me, I like the wide toe box and zero drop. OH make sure you have toe room, going down hills/mountains your foot tends to slide a bit and you keep hitting your toes at the front. A few people lost toe nails. I saw a few people with pillow, I was looking at the Nemo fillp elite and then ended up not getting it.

@silviaterrazas-olivo3521 Год назад

Hi Claudia!Another great and well organized video, could’ve sworn you were a professional videographer!From your packing list video, I recently purchased my first Patagonia raincoat, in sumac red, lol… it was on sale. I absolutely love my ALTRAS, I have a pair in the Maxtrac, unfortunately I’m not allowed to wear a zero drop shoe for now, because I broke my right foot in June, a few days before my daughter’s wedding, need more support for now, otherwise an amazing shoe with a very comfortable toe box. I have an identical gray pair of Darn Tough ankle socks 🧦 as yours, mine are a bit old though, they are seven years old. I still LOVE your Camino BUFF! I will continue to add more items as time goes by for my future Camino, for now physical therapy. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I hope you had a wonderful time with your parents and your visit to Porto. Thank you again for sharing so many beautiful moments in your Camino. I loved all your videos always so positive and motivating! Hugs, Claudia! Buen Camino! 🌻🎒🌻

Claudia you were amazing 🤩. You had me laughing, oohing, ahhing & crying all the way through your walk. I am planning on walking the CF in April next year & you have been an inspiration. I only wish I had found you & followed you in real time as I would have loved to have bought you a cafe con leche 😊. I finished watching last night & over the next few days will put together some questions if you are happy to answer them? How have you settled back into life in Toronto? 😊

@kaioso348 8 месяцев назад

Did your Altras take time to break in? I have the same pair as you and day 3 regular walking with them, I feel my calf tightening. Wondering if you had any issues with yours. Thank you for your videos, watched them all and greatly enjoyed them.

@ClaudiaRodrigues-Wanderlust 8 месяцев назад

Yes it did take some time to get used to the zero drop in the Altras. I switched to Altras a year before I left on the Camino. Started with Altra Lone peak and then 3 months before I switched to the Altra Olympus. I used a new pair of Olympus for the Camino, didn't need to break those in.

@smv67 4 месяца назад

Hi Claudia, I’m following your lead on my packing list and the weight about the same. I leave in a week. How was weight for you? Would you have gone lighter? Did you ever have trouble with your clothes drying? Thanks for the great videos!!!

@ClaudiaRodrigues-Wanderlust 4 месяца назад

Oh my goodness! How exciting!! BUEN CAMINO!!! Glad you enjoyed my videos. Given that i went in the fall I don't think there is anything I could have left behind. My backpack felt good, not too heavy. I think the hipbelt on the backpack made the difference, I never felt the weight on my back or shoulders. My clothes dried quickly, it was sunny and warm most days so I didn't have any issues until I got to Galicia and it rained every day. Most of the times they were dry before I went to sleep.

Hi I was wondering if you put your backpack in anything to put in the flight hold ? To protect the buckles/ straps etc during transit Thanks

@ClaudiaRodrigues-Wanderlust 3 месяца назад

Hi! I carried it on to the plane as a 'carry on'. Personally I would not check my backpack, if it gets lost then it could ruin your whole Camino.

@louiselessels117 3 месяца назад

I'd put the backpack raincover on backwards, covering the arm straps , and with the hip straps clipped on backwards. That'll protect the straps in transit, its just one of the many tricks and techniques one learns along the way.

@@cecillenadela3752 I actually woke up when they bit me. Please don't be anxious, its really not a big issue. The bites did not bother me at all, I simply applied some Dr Bronner Magic Balm and they went away. It was more the time having to wash EVERYTHING including my bag that was a bit of a hassle. I have to say that both times I was sleeping on bed sheets and not in my sleeping bag. I also heard that using a Silk Liner can help with the keeping the bedbugs away.

I much prefer shoes with a step heel. Gives a much better grip on descent. Shows my Mountain Rescue background n that most injuries are caused by simple slips on the down hill.

@ClaudiaRodrigues-Wanderlust Год назад

I had pretty good grip with my Altra Olympus. But I saw and heard of plenty of people slip on decents. All it takes is one second of not paying attention or simply a loose rock. My poles saved me lots of times.
